Author Jeremy White shares The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture with listeners
Baton Rouge, LA — December 4, 2023 — White Lines Press is now streaming The Little Girl Book Podcast, which features author Jeremy White sharing his new book about his wife discovering her biological family in 2018 and the insanely beautiful, transformational journey that ensued. The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery details how Edie White solved a mystery that had been plaguing a gangster-adjacent, Ukrainian American family for 65 years, but only after initially learning that her pacifist father is cited in two books for challenging David Duke with a bloody knife at LSU.
Listeners can now hear the tenured cynic narrate his hopeful memoir in weekly episodes, each one covering a chapter from the book. Nearly a dozen chapters recount Jeremy and Edie traveling on COVID’s eve to Seattle, Austin, Chicago, and California wine country to meet her far-flung new folks.
The Little Girl Book Podcast is available for subscription on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, with new chapters arriving on Fridays.
Published on Friday, December 1, Episode 1 covers “CHAPTER 1: Three Suits—All Aces,” which opens with the author describing Edie seeing a picture of her biological father for the first time. After revealing to listeners how he walked away from two decades of satire and football officiating to focus on his first book, Jeremy explains why, when their story’s reluctant hero decided to lead this emotionally daunting adventure, he vowed to be by Edie’s side in what would become their beautiful journey.
The opening chapter then tells how the future Marine Corps officer candidate and Naval Reservist met at LSU in 1991. Listeners also learn about Edie’s adopted family, the O’Neals of Maringouin, Louisiana. Jeremy later notes the irreversibility of submitting one’s DNA—which Edie does solely for the benefit of an unknown woman—and the perils that accompany such a decision, before preparing listeners for “the greatest, most surreal, transformational experience of our lives.”
